CAST Landscape Lighting Canada: Solid Bronze Outdoor Guide
Answer Card
- Spec-grade, solid bronze luminaires for paths, trees, façades, steps, and signage.
- Low-voltage systems: typically 12–15 V via multi-tap transformers sized for voltage drop.
- MR16 drop-in and integrated LED options—confirm CCT/CRI/outputs on spec sheet.
- Outdoor/wet and CSA/cETLus markings vary by SKU—verify before install.
- Built for Canadian climates: solid bronze forms a protective patina.
- Buy in Canada via Simply Secured; dealers apply at SimplyControlled.ca.
Why / Value
Solid bronze endures salt, snow, and moisture, developing a protective patina that resists corrosion for decades in Canadian landscapes. For power and accessories, pair with SOURCE by CAST Components.
Series / Map
- Classic: Path/area, bullets, wall wash, and well lights (MR16 or integrated LED). (Confirm optics, lumen outputs, and CCT/CRI on the spec sheet.)
- Craftsman: Decorative area/path forms with integrated or drop-in LED options. (Confirm per model.)
- Transformers: Journeymen & Master series; multi-tap designs for long runs and voltage-drop management. (Confirm per model.)
- Accessories: Lenses, o-rings, lamps, and parts kits for maintenance and upgrades.
Key Specs
| Category | Details (confirm on spec sheet) |
|---|---|
| Voltage / Driver | 12–15 V secondary (typ.); select multi-tap transformers offer 12/15/20 V options to compensate for voltage drop on long runs; 120 V primary. |
| CCT / CRI | MR16 lamp-based and integrated LED variants available; confirm CCT/CRI per SKU. |
| Beam / Optics | Spot/flood distributions with optional lenses and shields; verify IES per fixture. |
| Ingress | Outdoor/wet suitability; verify any IP ratings and gasket details on the spec sheet. |
| Listings | CSA/cETLus markings vary by model; check label and documentation prior to inspection. |
| Construction | Solid sand-cast bronze bodies with stainless components on select parts; designed for harsh climates. |
Use Cases & Pairings
Ideal for path & garden lighting, tree uplighting/grazing, façades, steps, and signage accents. For remote or off-grid sites, pair lighting with VOSKER Outdoor Monitoring to capture activity where Wi-Fi is limited.
Design & Install Tips
Size transformers by summing VA/watt loads and adding headroom; use higher taps to counter voltage drop and keep farthest fixtures within spec. Journeymen/Master series offer multi-tap flexibility for long runs. For scene-based triggers from indoors, integrate with Caséta by Lutron.
Ontario ESA note: Keep certification labels and follow the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC). Low-voltage landscape wiring methods and burial depths must comply with provincial rules; inspection requirements may apply. Confirm conductor type, burial depth, and enclosure ratings with your local authority.
Pricing & Scopes
Budgets depend on fixture type (path/bullet/well), lamping (MR16 vs integrated LED), accessories, and transformer capacity. Provide a zone schedule (fixture, quantity, beam, lamp/CCT, accessories, cable runs, transformer tap plan) for accurate Canadian quotes. Dealers and contractors can access trade pricing via SimplyControlled.ca.

FAQs
- Are these fixtures rated for Canadian winters?
- Yes—choose outdoor/wet-rated models; verify temperature ranges and markings on each spec sheet.
- Do these run on 120 V?
- No. Fixtures are low-voltage (typically 12–15 V) fed by a transformer with 120 V primary.
- Can I use MR16 lamps or integrated LEDs?
- Both exist—MR16 for field-serviceable lamping, integrated LED for efficiency. Confirm CCT/CRI/outputs per model.
- How do I size a transformer?
- Sum VA/watts, add headroom, and select taps (e.g., 12/15/20 V) to control voltage drop on long runs.
